I've taken this from a site in romanian and I've translated it so that you can understand too.Hope you like it.And I don't know...maybe this doesn't refer ONLY to Great Danes...Just enjoy

A Great Dane's promises before going to sleep (in his owner's bed, of course)

1. I promise to stay close, but not very close.

2. I promise to share the blanket with you.

3. I promise not to run in my sleep.

4. I promise not to wheep, to whine or to howl in my sleep.

5. I promise not to lick my own anatomy just before I put my head on your
pillow.

6. I promise to put my head and not my behind on the pillow.

7. I promise to get in and out of the bed slowly and quietly when you sleep.

8. I promise to step ON THE BED and NEVER ON YOU.

9. I promise to lay down slowly and carefully without bending or casting.

10. I promise to bend and cast ON THE BED and not ON YOU if I can't lay
down slowly and carefully.

11. I promise to let my family of danes get in bed without growling, showing
their teeth and without fighting for the best spot.

12. I promise to leave you enough blankets to cover yourself, if you want, and let you take off the ones that you don't want or warm you too much.

13. I promise to make the other danes promise that we won't squish you like an egiptian mummy by puting my big body on one side and my brother's body on the other side, like we'd be triplets.

14. I promise not to snore.

15. I promise to learn to snore in other way then your husband/wife so that the one who snores loud would be traced.

16. I promise to snore quietly and avoid sounds that overtake 39 decibels.

17. I promise to sleep in a way that my head, my neck and my snoring amplifyers (lips) would be in a straight line, leaving a free way for the air to come in/out of the body making the least noise possible.

18. I promise to relax and let the human straighten my head, neck and snoring amplifyers (lips). I repeat: just in case.

19. I promise to love you and adore being with you so much that I won't be good and behave nicely if you won't let me sleep on the couch with you at night and even in the evening.

ROFL! And that's why you don't let the Filas on the bed! They won't promise not to hog the bed, and they will bounce on the bed, trying to be the dog closest to you. They will even pull the blankets off the bed to lay on the floor! They will also use those big heads, bouncing them on the side of the bed and blowing sighs in your face until you wake up. Then, after you're awake and acknowledge them, they lay back down, happy to be reassured that you're alive and well and still love them.

Bimmer lays at the edge of the foot of the bed and won't let the girls near. What would we do without little Bimmer?

Don't feel bad, Brattina! The worst bed hog I ever had was Mickey, a 10 pound Toy Fox Terrier. If she couldn't get the best part of the bed by kicking and nudging, she'd turn upside down and point her butt to your face and fart. She was born with no tail, so there was no interference with the stinky salvos. Noxious!

Loved the "Promises". Our anatolian (120 lbs.) jumps up on bed every night. Only by the morning has our pit mix (50 lbs.) joined him as well as possibly one or both of our Maine Coons. Next year we will get a pit/neo mix. We already have a king-sized bed, what's next? I love them all!
